Italian metal outfit Ecnephias has issued the following announcement about releasing a new album:

"Dear friends and fans, our new album (out in 2014) will be titled 'Ecnephias' as our name and will also feature the homonymous title track, the definitive seal of our new style: projected into the future but with some references to our past.

"The music will surprise you, there will be a heavy dose of dark rock (the Cure, Tiamat), gothic metal (Paradise Lost, Moonspell) and, of course, the usual atmosphere of our 'death doom' style. Damn melancholy and deep, epic.

"In the next 'opus' you will also find a folk song with a Mediterranean theme music, a dark and atmospheric lullaby of South Italy, vaguely reminiscent of Lost Love Ballad (Lost God). Stay tuned!" More...

After cancelling the Paris stop of the band's current tour due to illness, Heart In Hand has now posted the following update about also missing tonight's show:

The In Flames Jesterhead fan club has checked in with the following update about the band working on a new album:

"Hey guys! Head Jester reporting here from the studio in Berlin. I just flew in yesterday to spend a couple of days with the band in the studio, and to report back to you, The Jesterheads!

"Today we listened to the first 'finished' song with vocals. It sounds fantastic, and more heavy than ever! Anders is really bringing it and I was blown away by the massive sound. We also listened to some of the other tracks that are being recorded right now. Everything sounds incredible, and you can really tell that this album will be a milestone for In Flames, probably their best album yet!

"Now it's time for some dinner with the band, stay tuned for more reports! Also, do not forget to check out the Jesterhead website for more daily updates and photos!"

This new album will be the follow-up to "Sounds of a Playground Fading" (reviewed here).
